The Mistral One Design Class (MOD) is a one-design windsurfing class chosen by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) for use at the Olympic regatta in Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004.[2][3] Starting with the 2008 Summer Olympics it was replaced by the RS:X class, which was replaced by the iQFoil class for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Description
[edit]
The MOD was first designed in 1989.[1] Worldwide,more than 30,000 have been built since. They are light and tough. In the right hands, they can be sailed in windspeeds ranging from 5 to 35 kn (3 to 18 m/s) depending on sea conditions.
The International Mistral Class Organization (IMCO)[4] has established over 50 National Class Organisations.
